Abstract
Myocarditis associated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is a rare, but critical adverse event. Although endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is the standard for diagnosis of myocarditis, there is a possibility of false negatives due to sampling errors and local nonavailability of EMB, which may hamper the appropriate diagnosis of myocarditis. Therefore, an alternative criterion based on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) combined with clinical presentation has been proposed, but not emphasized sufficiently. We report a case of myocarditis after ICIs administration, which was diagnosed using CMRI in a 48-year-old male with lung adenocarcinoma. CMRI provides an opportunity to diagnose myocarditis during cancer treatment.
期刊介绍：
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
